winsor68 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I just saw Eugene Reid giving Ra-Aus a good plug on the ABC news... Great stuff!! I was a bit disappointed to see our President's flying school aircraft doing what would under our rules be classed as "Aerobatics" i.e. 90degree banked turns.... but it was good none the less...

Guernsey Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 A steep turn will always look steeper in Tasmania because of the curvature of the earth. Please don't correct me because I like this explanation.:thumb_up: Alan. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howard Hughes Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Great story, but what is with all the Gold braid? Made Gaddaffi look like a second liuetenant... PS: The turn looked OK to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandit12 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 What is with the big nasty bounce and hard rotate at 0.32? Surely they could have done a nice greaser for the camera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnarly Gnu Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I liked the turns & I thought it was a nice positive segment. I couldn't care if the Pres wears pink pyjamas or a Nazi armband (being TAS and all) as long as he does his job well. But that really was just a 'touch' and go - is that how I really should be doing it perhaps? Thinking my training was just too tame... have to head to TAS (before it is sold off to cover the national debt). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motzartmerv Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 You don't know how happy I am to hear you say that. Thank you for the compliment. Sorry if compliance, airmanship, safety, common sence and the will to strive for high standards and ideals aren't your thing. Cheers, and thanx again. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spin Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Thanks for providing the link cficare, reading some of the posts here I got the impression that el presidente had the starring role and had written, directed and produced the feature as well - kind of disappointing to find that his was only one of several interviews in a pretty positive little piece. Maybe a little cement sprinkled on the morning porridge would be helpful.....? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboplanner Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 shame about the spelling Motz If we're going to start being critical about spelling, you could look at the grammar and capitalization David. We traditionally haven't picked on spelling in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spriteah Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Look at this forum! A positive piece on RAA and it gets shot down. The turn is away from the camera, it will appear lots steeper the further in rolls away. Shame on all that critisized this story. And good on El Prez for trying to promote the RAA. If he read this stream he will probably say to himself 'why bother'. jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winsor68 Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 I started the thread and posted the original comment... and I should have just left the comment on the turn out. I was being a bit tongue in cheek and saw nothing dangerous in the operations as shown. Good on you Eugene Reid... I was very impressed with seeing the story. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
